The story

The record was announced without a date for long enough that this page carried none. Soulseller Records has since dated it: 6 November 2026, on CD, vinyl and digital, with the artwork and full credits published alongside.

The title condenses the band’s worldview: bureaucratic language turned into an existential threat, with “resignation” meaning both quitting and surrender. Soulseller Records calls it the first full-length in fourteen years, which squares with this discography: the last was Merciless Winds in 2012, with Rebuke Revoke (2020) an EP.

Nobody writing this page has heard the album. There is no assessment of the music here, and there will not be one until there is something to assess.
